Tipping Point Forewarnings of Climate Change Danger, or, Everything’s Cool

When:   Thu Oct 16 • 6:00 pm

Where:   Clark Auditorium, Fisher Science Center

Chris Russill, whose recent work focuses on climate change communication and the use of tipping points to shape perceptions of crisis and danger, visits Simon’s Rock. Russill, a University of Minnesota faculty member, also examines the way public health agencies shape climate change discourse to enable the intervention of recognizable institutions [World Health Organization (WHO), Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Health Canada]. Russill continues the College’s Junior Fellows speakers series, which will feature multidisciplinary work from scholars engaging in social scientific inquiry.
